BOARD OF TRADE.
A W atch Factory With $4,000 Cap1tal ana
Employing 400 Hands Added to Wfchita's
Rapidly Increasing Manufactures.

The Board of Trade held its regular quar-
terly meeting yesterday afternoon at three
O'Clock. About fifty members vera present,
President Oliver in the chair. The minutes
of the last meeting were read and approved.
The treasurer's report showed balance OF
something over $4,000, the finance committee
having loaned $4,000 Of the associations
money to several of the banks in the city for
term of six months.
After several minor reports the committee
on manufacturing and industries reported
favorably upon a proposition of a well known
Eastern gentleman to locate watch
factory in this city at an
early day. The gentle man is the
the inventor of some very valuable patents
on most excellent and much needed improve
m ents in watches by which watch superior
to any at present made can be manufactures
cheaper than any competitor and is the most
perfect time keeper known. He is personally
known to several of our citizens who were
present at the meeting and spoke In most
glowing terms of the gentleman and his IN
SentlUnS. NSI y ldolcilh6 iOoIeiS Al OAAA n y"
idents of various large watch factories We're
read, and altogether the board was very ia
orably impressed and on motion the recon-
mendation of the committee was adopted.
The proposition is remarkable generous
and fair one. The gentleman asks no bonus,
or any cash whatever All he wants is that
company with a capital Of s250,OoO be
organized, that he receive for transferring
entirely, all his patents, the sum OF s50,OUV,
in stock. OF the other 100000; one half to
be paid some time during the first fifteen
months which will run the business until it
becomes self sustaining. He certainly shows
his own faith in the enterprise by Offering to
exchange his patents for stock in company
to manufacture the same, which must be
either good or worthless, according to char
acter Of the watches to be made 1t IS to be
hoped that, upon thorough examination by
the committee, our citizens will take stock in
this enterprise, as it undoubtedly presents
more advantageous features than almost any
factory pulling at Wichita's latchstring. 1t
will give employment to superior class OF ex-
pert mechanics, who will be a great acquisition
to our rapidly growing city which is SO fast
filling I'D with numerous manufacturing es-
Establishments. Put down the watch factory
as another one of Wichita's great industrial
concerns. Next!

KEEP TIE RASCALS OUT.

The election in New York last
week resulting in complete Demo
cratic victory, makes the rcnomina
ton and reelection of President
Cleveland a loregone conclusion. The
Republican party sees the hand writ
ing on the wall, and are already talk
ing about shelving their old Leaders
and putting forward new and untried
men without records They see that
the prospect is that the democrats
have four more years lease of power
The Democratic party has come tr
stay. The slogan of the last cam.
paign was turn the rascals out.
1t now will be keep the rascals out.
The Democracy is enuenched il
power in every state in the Union.
and is therefore under the present
administration more formidable
than ever. Cleveland'S wise, con
servative and safe administration has
satisfied and commended itself to tn,
business men of the whole country.
and they are power in the land,
while the negroes have found out
that the election Of IA Democratic
President has not put them back INTO
slavery. On the contrary they have
had their eyes opened, and the hypoc
risy, lies and dishonesty of the Repub-
lican party have been made more
glarlng and transparent Events have
conspired to doom the Republican
party to back seat This is we'll
The people know what they want.
The defeated and disappointed Re
publicans will of courso howl because
they have been choked of from the
public teat, but the Shermans, For
akerJ and Blaines have not in them
selves the magnetism, nor the ele-
ments to revolutionize public scnti-
ment. 1t was under the rule of the
Democratic party that this country
prospered in the days Of the fathers
of the Republic, AMI it is under the
rule of the Democratic party that the
country has entered upon an era Of
greater prosperity than it has ever
known. Long live the Democratic
party--the party of reform and good
government, peace and prosperity.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

The credit system is the ruin of
this country. The sooner all classes
and trades adopt the cash system,
the sooner will depression and fail
ures be averted.-7erreH (Teras)
Star.
No doubt the cash system would
be better for all mankind, but there
is more business done on cred
than by cash payments. The Gov
eminent puts into circulation vast
amount OF National currency, gold
and silver coin, but credit puts into
circulation more promises to pay"
than the government. The credit
system is the capital that keeps alive
the majority OF The mercantile firms of
the country, and it is also the farm
er's bank. The railroads and facto-
rles are loaded with mortgages Of
credit. lit were not for credit the
wheels of progress woulG stop and
business enterprises would cease to
be inaugurated. Credit, like fire, is
good friend, if kept under control
and hot abused. Personal misman-
agement, extravaganza and reckless
ness sometimes make it terrible and
devouring adversary. Credit is the
poor mans friend, and has tded
many persons over the sea OF power
ty to wealth. 1t illustrates faith and
confidence in mans honesty, and IN
tegrlty, but many rascal has con
verified it into burglar tools and used
it 10 rob too coniding friends. The
world, We magine, will never see the
time when credit will be absolutely
abolished, and all business trausac-
tlons done on a cash basis. The one
| drawback to the credit system is We
have too many laws that protect thu
dishonest at the expense OF the hon
est. A dishonest man is criminal
in the sight of God and man, anc
there should be laws that allowed
him no ''city of refuge but SURF
